Wrong-way motorist causes multi-vehicle crash in Hollywood

Early Monday morning, a multiple automobile collision involving at least six cars occurred on the 101 Freeway in Hollywood. A wrong-way motorist had entered the southbound freeway heading northbound at the Sunset Boulevard off-ramp around 2 a.m., causing multiple crashes. 

As a result, traffic was stopped just north of Gower Street. Tow trucks arrived to clear the wreckage and started letting traffic through the slow lane, according to the CHP. The road was cleared for traffic at 3:30 a.m. At the scene, crews reported that paramedics had taken at least one person in critical condition to a hospital.
